Used Parts Galaxy :: Astor – Alcor 18th Jun 2018

Our focus release from a quiet achiever in Australian underground music – that of Mark Harwood. Mark ran the amazing record store Synaethesia in Melbourne and in more recent years has been based in the UK and runs the small imprint, Penultimate Press. Alcor was his debut release and described as “a seductive and puzzling voice from the Australian wilderness of Ferntree Gully, Victoria.” Field recordings of humble organic activity bend against a foundation of discreetly processed electronics and piano, creating sonorities that are as indefinable as they are unforgettable. Ideal for fans of fringe position electro-acoustic study and Delphic audio confusion, or anyone who pines for the days when Small Cruel Party still roamed the earth.
